FOTD: Sonia Kashuk Neutral Palette

Hello my beautiful people,

Last weekend a good friend of mine, Windy, who now lives in Singapore came back to Jakarta. We haven't seen each other for almost 2 years so I was super excited to see her. Windy's older sister, Cindy, is getting married and she asked me if I could help her to pick some of items she needed for wedding makeup.

We met up at Plaza Senayan, Ai also came along, but I wasn't feeling so well that day and woke up late lol. I joined them after lunch and we went straight to Metro & Sogo to look for makeups. Cindy needed a foundation and I suggested her Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation which will stay longer, especially for wedding & photo shoot. She has super clear skin (i'm so jealous T_T) so no extra concealer needed.

I chose Oily/Combination formula in Nude shade for her and it seemed to match her face & neck the best. Here are pictures I took right after I applied it on her half of the face, I think it's necessary to take a picture when choosing a foundation because it's important not to look like you're wearing a mask when you have your pics taken, right?

*natural light & flash*

Cindy said she likes the finish & it actually feels light on her skin. She also bought a synthetic foundation brush to apply the liquid foundation. Then we sat down at Starbucks and caught up with stuffs we've been missing out. Windy & Ai were my closest friend when we were in Japan and we could gossip for hours til we fell asleep. Our pillow talks were the best, I remember one time Windy stayed over and we both were already really drowsy on the bed but we kept talking until we both had no idea what we were talking about. We were like "Huh? What did you say? What did I say?" lol

I haven't touched my Sonia Kashuk Neutral Palette for a looong time and now I realized it's very convenient for those of you who love neutral colors. It has both shimmer & matte finishes so you can switch up according to your preference. For this look I apply #1 all over lid, #4 on outer V and #5 to deepen my socket.

Touch Phones Review

Well, I'm obsessed with I-phone...no offense to Blackberry user. It's always funny how nowadays people seem to halve I-phone & BB user like PC & Mac. I think it's always about preferences and what you feel the most comfortable with.I honestly prefer I-phone because I love the interface and features, but I'm always open for new thing, for example G1 phone which sounds really really tempting.

I came across Touch Phones which is a site dedicated for touch screen phones. To my surprise, there are apparently many other touch screen phones which I have never heard about, thanks to this site I found out about Nokia Touch Phones and others. Nokia is pretty much the most used brand in Indonesia but I had no idea that they have touch screen phones.

This site basically gives you practicality to search for brands, models and the best deal you can get. You can also find the features of each phone, like the talk time, weight, standby time, or whether or not it supports 3G. I was checking out the G1 phones by T-mobile and it certainly will be my next one if I ever change phone. Another cool thing is they will tell you the contract length of each phone so you would know beforehand and won't feel cheated. If you'd prefer a more wallet-friendly phones you could check out their Cheap Touch Screen Phones which tells you the lowest rate in the market and you can filter them by brands, tariffs, even colors.

Although this site is UK based, I think everyone could take advantage from this site as the rate should not be so different and the comparisons of phones is always useful for those who are in a hunt for new touch screen phones. Hope someone would find this helpful =)

Haul of The Day: Traincase

Well, my makeup collection has indeed grew unshamefully for the last 2 years and I knew someday I would need a bigger storage and something I could take around with me. I had my small black case I bought from Muji 無印良品 years ago, but it can no longer hold my growing foundations collection, let alone all my eyeshadow palettes.

I have been searching online and although the price was tempting, the shipping cost wasn't..especially to Hawaii which MOSTLY always require extra cost. So I was walking around at Ace Hardware in Jakarta couple days ago and I saw this cute black leather traincase and price tag was only $49.99 O.O I thought my eyes fooled me but it turned out they were having this "election sale" haha I compared to another store which sells the exact same thing but the price was doubled the one at Ace Hardware, so we came back and bought it.

I remember seeing this exact bag at Yazmo.com and it costs around $79.95, you can check it out here.

I like how it's not too big and heavy so now I have something to store all my little jars & palettes.

isn't he gorgeous???

Yay for new home !!

I also met up with my friends at Taman Anggrek Mall and we had a blast, it's always enjoyable to be surrounded by people you like and can talk for hours & hours. We decided to ate at Fish & Co which is a Seafood restaurant. The food was pretty decent, but I like the relaxed environment...really nice for a rendezvous =D

Election Virgin

Yes, you heard me right....I am an election virgin, I have never voted for my own president. The reason was not because I could not careless or I was a part of the blank party, but mainly because I was never at home ever since I turned 17. The election in Indonesia is in every 5 years and you need to be 17 to vote. 5 years ago when I was finally had a chance to vote for the first time (I was 18), I was in Japan but this year luckily, I am home during the election period. I was pretty nervous LoL silly silly.

So me & the fam bam went to our TPU (Election Place) and registered. I was given a ballot which I had to bring to the silver box to mark who I wanted to choose to be the next Indonesian President & Vice President.

After that we are supposed to put the ballot in a sealed box,
and mark our pinky finger with a purple stain
(just so you can't vote twice)
Here is a proof that I have voted!!!

haha

damn I never thought I look so muscular from the back =(

Ugghhhh, it's gonna stain for days!

Happy sis~

Thanks for reading, until next time!!!

Goodies from Europe

So the rumors about Megan Fox is not true *wipe off forehead*, I'd still like to think of her being a hot chick no matter how jealous I am with her amazing bone structure & sexy pouty lips lol. Moving on, my mom came back from Sweden and she brought tons of goodies for us. She went for business trip for a week and I'm glad she could enjoy the nice weather & awesome scenery. I think my mom needed it =)

She was wearing BATIK (Indonesian traditional pattern & clothes) during her trip, mom said she needs to "promote" Indonesia hahaha you go, mommy!

Pretty Tulips


Some of the goodies she brought home,
she also brought TONS of chocolates, candies, & perfumes


Swatches from the eye pencils, they're nice & very creamy
so I doubt it I could wear it as a base

Mom also stopped by Amsterdam,
Don't you love how they put "XXX" and Weed sign on the cap? lmao

and she went to HEMA !!!! ='(
I wanna go tooooooo

My brother with his Live Long & Prosper cola pillow.

Ahhhhh I wanna go Euroland~~~~

Megan Fox is a Man??

This news will surely crush those guys who hung her poster in their bedrooms and having wild dream, but I am not 100% sure if it's real...The news started by Megan's joke on stage saying "I look like Alan Alda in drag. I’m a tranny. I’m a man.” but then she then clarified that she really is, a man.

"Megan Fox was born Mitchell Reed Fox in Rockwood, Tennessee. From an early age, Mitchell showed an interest in both performing and women’s clothing. When having a preacher lay hands on him did not ‘cure’ him of these interests, his parents simply put him on the pageant circuit....."

Well.......once I said to Aaron "Megan Fox could make me a lesbian......" If the news is true, I guess I'm still straight...aren't I? =P

I love Neutrals, Awards & Babies !

If you noticed I've been doing a lot of FOTD nowadays, well that's because I haven't actually hauled anything =D so I gotta make up with something, right? Here's the one I did yesterday when I was out to drop off my mom to the airport.

I'm keeping the eyes neutral coz there's no need to look bright & intense, besides the older I get the softer I'd prefer my eyes to be...lol idk why, it just happened ok? Tho I added a blue liner on my lower lashline to brighten up brown eyes and it worked like a charm for my tired eyes too.

For face, again I'm keeping it simple with my new favorite mineral foundation, Pure Anada in Niagara Fawn shade which offers great coverage, so great I hardly use concealer anymore. A soft bronzer to contour and peach blush were used on cheeks.

So I've been awarded by couple of fellow bloggers but I'm terribly sorry for not reacting to them straightaway. Kia of Yummy411 gave me this award which surprised me coz it should have been the other way around =) I always enjoy reading her reviews & I always thought she's super nice and talented....so if you're reading this, Kia....THANKS A LOT !!!! I'm trully honored and humbled to receive this from you.

Ai of daily ramblings of moi also gave me these lovely awards (they're so many haha)

thanks, Ai.....it's always nice getting these from someone I know as a person because you know it's a genuine appreciation, or at least I hoped so hahahaha (jk). I'm glad you reactivated your beauty blog again, although that means you're getting more broke with new lemmings. I'll always be your greatest enabler.....don't forget that ^^.

Oh when I was at the mall, my mom & I met her friends with her baby and her nephew and they are SUPER CUTEEEEEEEEEEEE. Her son is 5 months old and he's so chubby, I had hard time keeping him in my arms coz he's very heavy. What's funny is that his face expression always looks angry, but he was actually sleepy =P

I asked for his name and his mom said "Aaron." awwwwwww

(yes you got to see my naked face!)

His cousin named Kenneth and he's 9 months old.
Look at my mom having hard time holding this little guy.
He's a very friendly & happy baby =D

ahhhhhhh I love babies~
